Garnier de Naplouse (1147-1191) was the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitallers from 1187 until his death in 1191. He was a doctor as well as a military order ruler.

Biography
Naplouse was a Frenchman who joined the noble Knights Hospitallers order, the tenth Grand Master. He set up base at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Acre, establishing the first infirmary. In 1177 he began his service and at the age of 40 he became the Grand Master.

Exiled from France because of cruelty to patients, he was protected by King Richard the Lionheart of England because they had given a significant amount of money to the war efforts during the Third Crusade. In 1191 he bought local assistants to help him with his work, and was one of "The Nine": Templars marked out by Rashid ad-Din Sinan for extermination by the Assassins Order.

Death
Garnier made rounds through his hospital, and found a fleeing patient, so he restrained him. He had the guards break his legs and return him to his quarters. Garnier entered the hospital, followed by Altair, who gained the attention of guards. Although he was faced with many guards, Altair counterattacked against a stroke by Garnier, knocking him to the ground. He jumped and stabbed him in the neck with his two hidden blades. He said that with his death, his patients would be madmen again.
